1 The two tablets previously found (1952–3) in the same excavations were published by the writer in a preliminary manner in Antiquity, vol. XXVII, pp. 103 ff. and 233–7Google Scholar. The second of the two has been deciphered into Greek by Sittig, E.: Nouvelle Clio, 1954, pp. 470 ffGoogle Scholar. The excavations at Enkomi form part of a joint expedition, the other component being the French Mission led by Dr Cl. F. A. Schaeffer, to whose publication, Enkomi–Alasia, vol. I, Paris, 1952 Google Scholar, the reader is referred. Dr Schaeffer found a similar tablet in his 1953 Enkomi campaign and has reported the discovery of a Cypro-Minoan tablet in his excavations at Ras Shamra–Ugarit. ( Antiquity vol. XXVIII, pp. 38 ffGoogle Scholar). The total of tablets found at Enkomi including the one found by Dr Schaeffer is therefore four.
